part) must be placed when a soldier is being held by civilian 
authorities and release of the soldier is not imminent. The installation

release.

actions taken by civilian authorities.
    (3) Permit military authorities to monitor the person's military 
status while in civilian custody.
    (b) A detainer is canceled when the person is released to military 
custody.
    (c) If an AWOL or DFR individual is being detained by civilian 
authorities the military police
    (1) Notify the proper installation commander or coordination 
authority at once that the individual--
    (i) Is being detained by civilian authorities on civil or criminal 
charges.
    (ii) Is committed to a civilian medical facility.
    (2) Place a military detainer with the civilian law enforcement 
agency and inform the installation commander or coordinating authority 
of--
    (i) Changes or medical problems concerning the absentee.
    (ii) Probable length of detention by civilian authorities.
